I definitely wouldn't go with two car themed pieces. I like whimsical pieces from time to time, though .... I have some elderly Marc Jacobs mouse flats that are still going strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-bag#post-1505673 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 22:37:39 +0000 approprio 1505673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Meredith, who has cleverly found more or less exactly what I would have suggested. A gingham tote would also make a nice visual pun. I like puns.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-bag#post-1505666 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 21:42:30 +0000 Echo 1505666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>^ Ooh, that's cute! I try not to go over the cutesy edge, but when I do I go big! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-bag#post-1505662 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 21:36:58 +0000 Meredith 1505662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the spirit of enabling, I do think you could get away with something that closely coordinated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-bag#post-1505658 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 21:26:09 +0000 Echo 1505658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interestingly, I would have given the same advice to someone else, but for some reason thought the "matchy" bag would be a good idea. You all are right. I have plenty of black bags, and I even have a black and white bag that ought to work without going too far off into whacky, weird and matchy. My wallet thanks you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-bag#post-1505596 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 16:40:50 +0000 tulle 1505596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have to agree with everyone above:&nbsp; too much taxi;&nbsp; and the fan bag, though pretty, looks like an evening bag to me.&nbsp; I'd look for a plainish rectangular clutch or crossbody in black and white.&nbsp; Those shoes deserve to be the star! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-bag#post-1505501 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 12:20:58 +0000 Kirstjen 1505501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the taxi shoes are very whimsical and are a fun accessory, but doubling down on that motif veers into cutesy. &nbsp;You might get to the place where the clothes are wearing you, rather than you wearing the clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-bag#post-1505483 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 10:53:50 +0000 Anonymous 1505483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Louise. I would go for a plain white bag, or a plain black bag. For me, it would be too much of a good thing to have the statement shoes and a statement bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-bag#post-1505472 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 10:02:52 +0000 Staysfit 1505472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first bag, it picks up the black and white from the shoes and IMO doesn't compete with the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-bag#post-1505461 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 08:45:52 +0000 Louise 1505461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go with a plain white bag, for me personally the bags shown worn with the shoes would be too many statement accessories. My favourite bag is the clear one with insert but I'd use it with plain white or yellow shoes x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-bag#post-1505377 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 01:27:48 +0000 Echo 1505377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, let's say you had the taxi cab shoes in the finds and wanted a bag that coordinated. Matchy-matchy is not necessary, but clearly despite my UWP vibe, I don't mind the saccharin-sweet accessory vibe, either. I tend to dress in black and maybe white as an accent. Sometimes cobalt blue. But the bulk of my wardrobe is dark, with asymmetric hems (mostly on tops).&nbsp;</p> <p>Which bag would you choose to go with the taxi flats? The DKNY one in the finds, or the Alice and Olivia car bag or the Alice and Olivia fan bag? DH has a definite preference, but I am still open to suggestions if you know of something else.</p>
